LOCATION:
The Beachouse is a purpose built backpacking resort, situated approximately half way between Nadi (where the plane lands) and Suva (Fiji's capital city), on Fiji's Coral Coast. The resort is nestled in to a spectacular eight hectare coconut grove that is bordered by a white sandy beach and a living coral reef.
As you may already know, the Beachouse was the site selected for the reality TV show ‘Love Island' (a U.K ITV1/Granada program). Filming took place over 6 months in 2006. As a result, the Beachouse now has spectacular bure (thatched) buildings and a new resort pool right near the beach (see website); combined with our new dorms and garden rooms.
The Beachouse undoubtedly offers you the best backpacker accommodation available in Fiji
WHAT IS THERE TO DO WHILST AT THE BEACHOUSE??
For those who do not want to just laze on the beach or curl up in a hammock with a book or lounge by the pool ... we have plenty of other possible activities for you. A sample is as follows: guided reef walks (learn how to catch octopus at low tide), coconut jewellery making and weaving lessons, beach volleyball every afternoon. Sana from Navola Village also organises daily snorkelling trips to the reef, & the free use sea-kayaks. Visit the local village school or trek to the Korolevu Waterfall. Recently we commenced trekking expeditions to Navola Falls (a favourite with travellers) …. a 3 hour round hike from the Beachouse ...... a "must do" activity for those wanting a good bush-walk.
SCUBA diving is also available nearby and in the Beqa Lagoon. The nearby hinterland rainforest also boasts some excellent white-water rafting. Going further a field, you can take a Suva day trip - visit the museum, see where the coups took place or take in a movie (very reasonable & clean modern theatres). Sigatoka is a good day trip for those wanting to visit the sand dunes & the Tavuni Hill Fort or buy produce at the local Sigatoka market. Internet is also available for those wanting to e-mail or browse the web, the Beachouse now has high speed broadband available (15c per minute, F$7 per hour). To catch up with sports results or the news back home, we have a spacious TV lounge with a large 50 inch screen. The bar also has a lounge with comfy couches to relax on and the pool table is also available for those wanting to pit their skills against the local staff in a game of Killer Pool!!
THE CAFE:
The Beachouse has its own beachside cafe and bar which is open from 8am until midnight. Meals are inexpensive and range in price from F$3.00 to F$11.00. We serve a variety of tasty meals and vegetarians are also catered for. The cafe & bar are poolside and situated 30 metres from the beach (check out photos on the website); it consequently acts as a popular focal point for most of our guests.
There are also good self catering facilities available.
